I haven't posted on here in a good long while - since about September I think - so I thought I'd just write a quick thing telling you all who are familiar with my usual relationship/self-related problems that everything is going great in my world. I'm still with my bf (if we'd broken up you would know!!) and it's nearly been a year altogether.

I guess I'd like to share my recent revelations about things in case it may help anyone else make any decisions about stuff -

with relationships, if two people love eachother, there is ALWAYS hope, no matter how hopeless you may feel about it. (NB I consider cheating or abuse as a demonstration of a lack of love, therefore those things really are get-out clauses)

no matter how awful life in general may be for you, there is ALWAYS opportunity to overcome it. I think there comes a sink-or-swim moment at some point - or a number of these moments - and you always have the choices and ultimately the power to change your life for the better (unless you're a child).

Finally, I've noticed a significant correlation between my general mood/how things are going in my life with how often I post on PP, even to advise other people.
